I decided I could take one frame from one of the 2 hives this year since there is plenty more for the bees for the winter (read ~50lbs/hive!). Since it was only one (but still 5-6 pounds of honey!) I scraped it into cheese cloth, squeezed, twisted, and finally hung it off the faucet in the kitchen sink to ooze out, and gave it one more squeeze with spatulas to get the last bit sans wax.
Capped Honey
Oozing honey
Sweeeeeeeeet!

Thistles (Cirsium) – yumm.
Purple Cone Flower (Echinacea purpurea) – yumm!

The upcoming bees will need full sun and a flat platform for their hive. So today we repurposed some ancient iron railings (removed in 2003 from the front porch) and a stage platform built for Powhatan. Throw in some cinder blocks, a few fence posts, and some barbed wire, and you have a hopefully horse-proof site.
The truck was helpful in moving stuff around (as always).
Future site of beeland. If you look carefully you can see the apothecary shed in the background. All hail the apothecary shed.
